What could lumps be on the side of my 6 yr neck?


Question:
I just noticed 4 lumps on the side of my daughters neck. The seem like fat deposits, but I am not sure and I am very conserned about it. What could it be?? They move when you touch them.. Is this anything I need to be worried about right now. I am in the process of getting her health insurance and don't really have the money right now to pay out of pocket?? HELP PLEASE!!

Answers:
Do they hurt? Are they getting worse? They are not normal so you'd better have them checked out one way or another. Don't wait too long. Insurance is great but your daughter's health is priceless.

Other Answers:
go to the doctor they may be the mumps or swollen glands
They could be lymp nodes that are swollen. However, you should really try to get them checked out as soon as possible to be sure.
I would say there where just glandes.. the tend to swell up when a person is sick...ear infection...sore throat...etc.. But keep an eye on them . Ask her if she feels yucky at all. Maybe some allergy medicine help with the pollen and stuff to. Once you get insurance though and if she still has them I would take her to the doctors...good luck and let me know if you find anything out.....
It sounds like swollen lymph glands. Do you have a "Doc in the Box" where you live? Could be Mono or something like that. I have a free clinic in my city. Call the operator and ask if there is a free clinic where you live.
Please take your daughter to a doctor. Hopefully not just a doc in the box. It may just be swollen glands but it could br serious. My son had this when he was first diaganosed with leukemia. However, it is probably NOT that, but so much better to be sure. I don't mean to scare you, but please get her checked out.
